An
up to date operating report was presented by Don Pottier. There are still
outstanding invoices as well as rink grants, but we should be in good shape.
The final Treasurers report will be presented at the Annual General Meeting. Treasurer's report was accepted on a motion by Don and seconded by
David. |

Councillor Kreling |
The highlights for the City budget (2002) are out. There was a good
turn out for the Budget meeting. A meeting on April 9 will discuss the usage of the Cumberland Legacy
Fund. There will be a proposal at that time to use a large portion of these
funds on the beach development at Petrie Island. |
|
Recreation Committee |
As provided by Frank Dugal There is no money set aside for the sub committees to operate at this
point. The recreation committee has asked for funding of approximately
$18,000.00. The committee is looking at how it can cover all areas of the
City. Presently the group is meeting once a month. |
|
Canada Day |
There were concerns regarding the date of
the next Canada Day meeting. Dave would confirm the new date of Wed. March 27
via email. |
|
Rink Report |
No report The FCA needs to look at the
rink operations for next year. Frank pointed out that some areas such as
Gloucester contract out their rink operations. |
|
Newsletter |
The newsletter will be out at the end of April, in advance of the
Annual General meeting. Don is still struggling with a format that will
produce the best quality in print. Herb recommended S and G printing on St.
Joseph Blvd. |
|
Open Discussion |
Herb pointed out that recreation groups including groups operating the
rinks are looking at the possibility of combining their interests through the
Community Associations. David summarized the recent email consensus that the
FCA prefers to stay within our own group for most issues excluding
recreation. An Orleans group recreation might be a good idea. Herb will
invite the Presidents and Vice-Presidents of the various associations to look
at joining recreation issues. The Star and the Journal seem to be arriving at more homes since Herb
called the Community newspapers. Don has sent a press release to the Community newspapers with the date
of the Annual General meeting and the Garage Sale. Most of the Tulips are gone to the various groups, and will be
displayed at City Hall. The friends of Petrie Island have asked for funding in excess of
$10,000.00 from the Trillium Foundation to support interpretive programs. |
Meeting adjourned at 10:00 p.m.
Next meeting Monday, April 15, 2002 at 8:00p.m. at the Ray Friel Centre Meeting Room.
